TheTicketingBusiness Forum is back with a game-changing twist for 2025. As the meeting ground for the world’s entertainment, sports, arts, and leisure powerhouses, #TBF25 goes far beyond ticketing to embrace the entire eCommerce ecosystem for entertainment.
This year, we’re handing the reins to our newly-formed Programme Advisory Panel – aka The Advisors – an elite band of industry leaders who bring unrivalled insights into every facet of discovery, sales, and customer engagement. They’re shaping an agenda that’s bold, practical, and future-focused.
We’ve picked their brains and will be bringing you a jam-packed programme based on their latest research, ‘hot-off-the-press’ news, exciting developments in the market, and insights about the big externalities that folks in entertainment, ticketing and tech should be thinking about.
